This is the first interactive gaming experience set in the world of Downton Abbey, an Emmy® Award-winning television program that follows the nobles and servants of an aristocratic household throughout the early 1900s.

Downton Abbey: Mysteries of the Manor is an adventure of exploration and discovery, featuring characters and locations from the series.
